UNSPSC 85512542: Bypass abdominal aorta to right femoral artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass abdominal aorta to right femoral artery with synthetic substitute, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 04100JH

UNSPSC 85512542 Bypass abdominal aorta to right femoral artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code for a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the procedural specification. Instead, the opportunities tracked to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the named vascular surgical procedure. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), reflecting broad state and local reliance on contracted medical administration, clinical staffing, and occupational health services rather than procurement of a particular surgical intervention.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Washington State, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with activity concentrated across mid-size cities and regional health systems. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and shipyard locations (proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for comprehensive disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000 (proposals due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories including radiology, surgery, and therapy services (proposals due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical-procedure specification and the medical administration, occupational health, and clinical staffing work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding at the point of posting or that this code is used by state and local jurisdictions as a catch-all for healthcare-related contracting activity that does not fit elsewhere in the taxonomy.
